If I left at ~10am I'd get there at 7pm leave at 9:30pm and get back at
4pm so only an 18 hour return journey with a 9 hour stopover in Edinburgh
in the middle of the night; heh looking at the MKC trains at least I'd be
sharing the time with Andrew :-)

I think you can take that as read :-)
> I did that journey every month from London for years.
I note the direct train from Kings Cross to Aberdeen takes two hours less
then from Brum in fact even the ones where you have to change are just
under 8 hours oh and you have a direct train leaving at 21:40 to Euston
that takes 10 hours. Nobody loves Birmingham :-(

Also re: MK
But where are all the human beings?
They've all been sent to Milton Keynes
They used to live round here but now they're gone
For some of us still life goes on

Ah there I have the advantage of Londoners on my mothers side so I can be
incomprehensible in two dialects.
